Looks good! I was planning the same thing with a few changes:
Lowering - 1.5 inches or so
Wheel spacers - The fronts don't stick in "too" much but the rear ones could be spaced out quite a bit without any ill effects.
Sticky tires - Probably Azenis Sport - 215's are quite a bit actual width wider than many 225's I've seen. Should fit great.
Just some suggestions! So far so good!

kill it with BOOMSTICK!
those look nice on that car. I agree with the rest of the crowd, a 1" drop would make it perfect, but hey, you don't got the money, you don't got the money. no ways around that. I also love the plates! very nice touch. lol 1SXYRXY

looks good but should've been static balanced, if you get new tires, those wheel weights are coming off and a nice mis-colored spot will show through. 
Don't get me wrong though, I love how they turned out and all! I was thinking of painting my S5 GXL wheels the same color, now I am sold on it

More than 1" cut risks the springs comming off the perch at max rebound.
1" is just right.
